Lyrics
Stranger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Planes and trains took you away
Were never ending
Chasing with no consequence
Your new obsession
You always went alone
You never trusted anyone
How far will you go to forget where you're from
Oh God I always felt like you were such a stranger
And I know the farther you go I'll need you closer
Oh God I always felt like you were such a stranger
From a tale of a life that I once called my own
With the fear that you'd escape
My contradiction
Could this be a lesson learned or all for nothing
Oh will I ever feel what I felt with anyone
How far must I go to forget what I've done
Oh God I always felt like you were such a stranger
And I know the farther you go I'll need you closer
Oh God I always felt like you were such a stranger
From a tale of a life that I once called my own
And you wonder how you'd ever fathomed how you would be content
Would the places that you traveled to someday be filled with friends
That you threw away back home and said you'd find them all again
Would I just be just like them
A replacement in the end
Oh God I always felt like you were such a stranger
And I know the farther you go I'll need you closer
Oh God I always felt like you were such a stranger
From a tale of a life that I once called my own
